ERBIL, Kurdistan Region — Several Iranian Kurdish parties met on Tuesday to further consolidate, cooperate, and communicate via a joint coordination center that was established early-January. “We have agreed preliminarily to discuss these topics in the meetings and for them to be implemented through either statements or joint action,” Kamil Nuranifard, a politburo member of […]

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region — Several Iranian Kurdish parties met on Tuesday to further consolidate, cooperate, and communicate via a joint coordination center that was established early-January.

“We have agreed preliminarily to discuss these topics in the meetings and for them to be implemented through either statements or joint action,” Kamil Nuranifard, a politburo member of the Organization of the Revolutionary Khabat Organization of Iranian Kurdistan (Khabat) told Kurdish media following Tuesday’s meeting.They discussed ongoing protests in Iran, protecting the Kurdish language, among other topics.

“The spirit of wanting to establish a united front or coalition at the end is within these parties. But a lot needs to be done, especially dialogue and exchange of opinions,” Qadir Salih, a politburo member of the Kurdistan Democratic Party in Iran (HDK or PDK).

A PDKI commander in the Zagros mountains surveys the battlefield.

This was the third meeting for the five parties that formed their coordination center in early January with the goal of forming a united front following the protests that spread across Iran in late-December.

“We mostly discussed that due to events in Iran, we have to have more cooperation,” confirmed Mustafa Mawludi, the secretary-general of HDK.

He explained that the lack of “fast and strong cooperation” is one of the key problems that they collectively have as Kurdish parties in Iran.

The parties need to improve in this area, because according to Mawludi “the suppression of the protests is [only] temporary because of the government’s inability to solve the problems of the Iranians.”

Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan (HDKA or PDKI) also attended the meeting.

The coordination office, however, lacks some big players, such as the Iran-Kurdistan Free Life Party (PJAK). The PKK-linked PJAK previously has been in disagreements with other Iranian Kurdish parties, when PJAK leader Haji Ahmadi likened the leaders of the parties to idle “mares and horses” and called them lazy.

“There are no restrictions on anyone, and no one has been excluded. However, certain principles have been established for joining it [the coordination center]. If they have not heard it up to now we will notify them and work on it,” Salih Sharifi, a politburo member of Komala party.

The armed wings of the Kurdish parties operate in the mountainous border region between the Kurdistan Region and Iran. They have resumed their armed activities against Iran after almost two decades of ceasefire, promising to push closer to the Kurdish towns and cities in Iran — near their families.

Iranian Intelligence Minister Mahmoud Alawi promised “a harsh response” after three Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) members were killed near Piranshahr in January by PDKI fighters.

In his recent visit to Iran, Iranian officials warned KRG Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani that they would not accept insecurity on the border, in an apparent attempt to pressure the KRG into curtailing the activities of the parties.

Today marks the 72nd anniversary of the Republic of Kurdistan. On January 22, 1946, Qazi Mohammad – revered as Peshawa (meaning leader in Kurdish) among the Kurdish nation – declared the Republic of Kurdistan in the city of Mahabad in eastern (Iranian) Kurdistan.

Peshawa Qazi, the first leader of the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan, was the President of the Republic of Kurdistan. Every year, Kurds all over the world celebrate the anniversary of the republic on January 22.

This year, PDKI celebrated the anniversary of at its headquarters in Koya, located in southern (Iraqi) Kurdistan.

Dr. Miro Alyar, a member of PDKI’s leadership, delivered a speech in which he emphasized the progressive nature of the Republic of Kurdistan at a time when the Middle East was dominated by backward ideas and authoritarian regimes. The Republic of Kurdistan, Dr. Alyar said, “provided liberty and security for Kurds as well as non-Kurds, while making gender equality one of its main objectives and achievements.”

Most important, Dr. Alyar added, the Republic of Kurdistan is of political and historical importance for the Kurdish nation because of its national achievements in terms of protecting and developing the Kurdish language, providing a space for the protection of Kurdish national identity and human dignity for Kurdish individuals, and the creation of national institutions to further Kurdish national interests.

“We have, therefore, every reason to be proud of the Republic of Kurdistan,” Dr. Alyar averred.

Meanwhile, urban Peshmerga units as well as PDKI’s Peshmerga Forces in the Zagros Mountains renewed their commitment to continue the struggle for the attainment of Kurdish national rights in the spirit of the Republic of Kurdistan, and to fight Iranian occupation of eastern Kurdistan.

In a statement, PDKI condemns Turkey’s attack on the Kurdish city of Afrin in western (Syrian) Kurdistan. PDKI calls on the international community not to remain silent and to take action in order to prevent a humanitarian crisis in Syrian Kurdistan.

Turkey has for some time threatened to attack Syrian Kurdistan. It began with the attack on Afrin. In addition to the shelling and airstrikes against Afrin, Turkey has threatened to undertake a ground invasion. PDKI warns of an impending humanitarian crisis if Turkey’s military aggression continues.

PDKI also reminds the international community of the pivotal role the Kurdish people plays in fighting terrorism in the Middle East.

However, now that the war against the Islamic state, or IS, is winding down, the states occupying Kurdistan collaborate to attack the Kurdish people in the different parts of Kurdistan. It began with the attack against Kirkuk by Iraqi militias and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards. Now, with the attack on Afrin, Turkey has demonstrated that it cannot even tolerate Kurdish self-rule within the boundaries of another country.

Unfortunately, the international community has remained silent in the face of these attacks against the Kurdish people.

PDKI calls on the international community not to remain silent in the face of repeated acts of military aggression against the Kurdish people by the states occupying different parts of Kurdistan.

Even if democracy and human rights no longer concern the international community, the Western powers should at least consider the fact that the Kurds have been their most important allies in the struggle against terrorism in the Middle East.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) have broadcasted a documentary filled with lies on its failed attack on PDKI’s headquarters in Koya, southern (Iraqi) Kurdistan.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) have broadcasted a documentary filled with lies on its failed attack on PDKI’s headquarters in Koya, southern (Iraqi) Kurdistan. In 1996 more than 5000 IRGC terrorists entered southern Kurdistan armed with heavy artillery to attack the PDKI. The failed operation laster for two days and not a single PDKI Peshmerga was injured or martyred.

The documentary does not mention that the IRGC were forced to withdraw and five days after the failed attack 125 members of the IRGC were killed in eastern (Iranian) Kurdistan in clashes with the Peshmerga Forces.

The purpose of broadcasting the documentary is two fold; the IRGC wants to portray a image of its military ability and remind that it can attack the PDKI in southern Kurdistan. The IRGC also seeks to create disunity between Kurdish political parties in the two different parts of Kurdistan by claiming that it received approval and help from Kurdish political parties in southern Kurdistan.

PDKI will never allow an enemy of the Kurdish people to create disunity among the Kurdish people and their political parties.

PDKI will always defend the Kurdish people against Iranian military aggression.

All efforts to spread this kind of propaganda has always backfired against the theocratic regime in Iran and its terrorist IRGC.

The Zagros Eagles carried out a military operation against a highly fortified military base of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) in the Kurdish city of Xane (Piranshar).

The Zagros Eagles carried out a military operation against a highly fortified military base of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) in the Kurdish city of Xane (Piranshar).

The operation occurred on January 11, 2018 at 23:30 local time. The military operation was in response to the IRGC kidnapping several Kurdish civilians in the region three days prior to January 11.

The Zagros Eagles is a clandestine military organization that fights the Iranian regime in Kurdistan. The Iranian regime’s violent crackdown on peaceful demonstrations has convinced an increasing number of young people to consider armed struggle against the Islamist dictatorship in Tehran as the only means to bring about change.

The members of the Zagros Eagles are said to be predominantly university graduates.

On Wednesday, January 3, six members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) were killed in a clash with an urban Peshmerga unit of PDKI near the Kurdish city of Xane (Piranshar).

On Wednesday, January 3, six members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) were killed in a clash with an urban Peshmerga unit of PDKI near the Kurdish city of Xane (Piranshar). The Iranian regime has confirmed that three agents of its intelligence agency were killed in the clash.

The Peshmerga unit in Xane later confirmed that six members of IRGC were killed and seven others were injured in the clash. The Iranian regime admitted that three of them were agents of its Intelligence Ministry. Iran has not yet confirmed the death of the three other members of IRGC. The Peshmerga unit in Xane did not suffer any casualties.

While the major cities of Iran were engulfed in protests against the clerical regime and the Kurdish people staged peaceful demonstrations in various cities, the IRGC attacked the village of Zewai Piran in the proximity of Xane.

The Islamist regime in Tehran attempted to divert attention from the peaceful protests in Iran by launching military operations in eastern (Iranian) Kurdistan.

In a statement, PDKI called on the Kurdish people in eastern Kurdistan to stage peaceful demonstrations in solidarity with the demonstrators in Iran.

Since 2015, PDKI has deployed its Peshmerga Forces to eastern Kurdistan to encourage the civilian population to engage in civil resistance.

The Peshmerga Forces will not attack the regime’s military forces, but will defend themselves and the civilian population against any attack. The urban Peshmerga unit in Xane responded to the attack by the IRGC against civilians.

Iran on Sunday blocked Instagram and the messaging app Telegram, official media reported, after three days of anti-government unrest spread across the country. Two demonstrators were killed over the weekend, an official said.

The move was aimed at blunting the largest protests in Iran since a 2009 uprising over disputed election results, and that appear to have caught Iran’s leadership off guard.

Authorities were “temporarily” blocking the social media apps, both of which are popular with Iranians, to “maintain peace” amid the growing demonstrations, state television said Sunday. Many demonstrators had used the apps to share and upload videos from the protests.

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov wrote on Twitter that Iran was “blocking access to Telegram for the majority of Iranians after our public refusal to shut down . . . peacefully protesting channels.”

Iran’s government warned protesters after a night of attacks on government buildings and confrontations with police that they would pay a “heavy price” for breaking the law. Authorities there have a history of brutally repressing unauthorized protests and political dissent.

“Those who damage public property and create disorder are accountable before the law and must pay the price,” Interior Minister Abdolrahman Rahman Fazli said Sunday, state media also reported.

An official in western Iran confirmed the deaths of two demonstrators who protesters said had been shot and killed. The official deputy-governor of Lorestan province, Habibollah Khojastehpour suggested they had been shot either by “foreign agents” or Sunni militants he claimed infiltrated the area.

“No bullets were shot from police and security forces at the people,” Khojastehpour said on state television Sunday, the Associated Press reported.

President Trump on Sunday also commented on the unrest, saying on Twitter that the “USA is watching very closely for human rights violations!”

The demonstrations began Thursday over economic woes but swiftly expanded to target a system many protesters have said is corrupt and incapable of reform. In stunning scenes, protesters were seen changing “down with the dictator!” as they tore down posters of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in central Tehran.

Protesters Saturday defied police from Kermanshah in the west to the holy city of Qom in the north and Ahvaz southwest of the capital, according to footage circulated online. Some of those images could not be confirmed.

“Big protests in Iran. The people are finally getting wise as to how their money and wealth is being stolen and squandered on terrorism,” Trump said Sunday. “Looks like they will not take it any longer.”

But Rouhani, a moderate who appealed to reformists and reelected to a second term in a landslide in May, had yet to address the nation. And reports in local media that he planned to give a speech Sunday were quickly denied.

Both reformists and conservatives struggled to respond to the demonstrations with a unified message. Each side has blamed the other, while internally the camps were split over the legitimacy of the protests.

Allies of Rouhani, including his reformist vice president, Eshaq Jahangiri, initially suggested his political opponents had orchestrated the demonstrations. But as the protests escalated, and many chanted for the return of Iran’s monarchy, many conservatives soon disavowed the protesters and have called for a tougher response.

Rouhani has come under fire for failing to deliver on key economic promises he said would follow a nuclear deal with world powers, after which international sanctions on Iran were lifted.

The economy has indeed grown, and the International Monetary Fund has forecasted real GDP growth to reach 4.2 percent in 2017/18. But that boost has largely been due to renewed oil exports, and non-oil sector growth has lagged significantly behind.

In a letter, Massoud Barzani, the president of the Kurdistan Region, thanked the PDKI and Mustafa Hijri for supporting the independence referendum in southern (Iraqi) Kurdistan.

A translation of the letter is provided below:

I acknowledge your stance on this issue as well as your support for the legitimate demands of the people of Kurdistan.
